SSA 2000 and RMSA 2009 recommends for the inclusion of children with special needs including children with hearing impairment. School curriculum started addressing life skill education as a part of Co-Scholastic Activities, to provide an opportunity for children to develop holistically. Among the ten core life skill according to WHO (1999), the Problem solving is a cognitive process of the brain, which investigates the solution to a given problem or finds a way to realize the given aim (Zhong et al,. 2010). Problem solving skills are quite important in terms of learning. Problem solving skill is one of the main skills which every child has to develop to face the problem as well as solve the problem independently in routine life. Hence, the present study was conducted with the objective of the development of problem-solving skills among children without hearing impairment with the help of single group pre-test and post-test experimental research design for the purposive sampling of 9 8th standard students with hearing impairment. The intervention was carried out for the duration of three months with different types of strategies. Findings show that there is a significant improvement in the problem-solving skill among children with hearing impairment who are studying in an inclusive set-up.
